Beginners Trailer
No wonder Christopher Plummer is nominated for this year's Best Supporting Actor award at the Oscars. He was lovable and charming as Ewan McGregor's terminally ill, recently openly gay father. He was believable in his enchanting way that he portrayed all of the stages of grief, from denial (by telling people that he's turning the corner), to acceptance (drinking wine in the hospital with his friends).
This movie is a beautiful work of art. It is told in flashback, almost as a mixed media, found footage film. Ewan McGregor is great as well, and even manages to make Freud look dreamy. This movie touches on life, death, acceptance, and love and answers the question that we're all thinking at all times, "what really goes through a dog's mind?"
